Fossil hunting in the beautiful scenery of this World Heritage Coast
/The Etches Collection offers trips down into Kimmeridge Bay to go fossil exploring with Steve Etches. Click on the YouTube video link below to see a short clip of not only the beautiful scenery of this World Heritage Coast but also how Steve can quickly see even small parts of fossils that are starting to be exposed in the rockface. The reason that the museum exhibits are of such scientific interest is that the specimens have not been damaged by the waves, Steve can see them before much is exposed and they can be carefully cut from the rock revealing a level of detail just not seen previously. If you enjoy this taster, why not book a trip with us to go fossil hunting with Steve?
The Etches Collection Museum is located in Kimmeridge, Dorset on the World Heritage Coast and contains a nationally accredited and designated collection of over 2500 fossils from the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridge Clay Formation. The collection provides a major resource for education and research as well as being a major tourist attraction.
